Wednesday, 26 March, 2025
In the season 2 finale, host Eric Byer delves into the challenges of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) in the chemical distribution industry. He begins by tracing the history of PFAS, their widespread use in products like firefighting foam and non-stick cookware, and the reasons behind their prevalence today. Eric is joined by industry experts Mark Siem of Perimeter Solutions and Stephen Kowkabany of The Vertex Companies, LLC. Together, they discuss the key federal and state regulations surrounding PFAS and their impact on chemical distributors, as well as the compliance obligations ACD members need to understand. Mark also shares a 7-step process for transitioning foam systems to address PFAS concerns. As insurance requirements evolve, the panel examines how chemical distributors can adapt to increased scrutiny and what coverage they should consider. The episode concludes with a spotlight on ASK Distribution Consulting’s partnership with Vertex, offering a PFAS audit service to help companies stay compliant and mitigate risks.
